3. Overall Reflection
 Throughout the course of this semester I have learned a
lot about the technology standards that I will need to be
proficient in, in order to be a school administrator. I
understand how large of a responsibility it will be to
properly ensure that both the staff and students are
using technology in an appropriate manner. I also must
ensure that I am encouraging my teachers to implement
technology throughout the day so that my students will
be more prepared when the inevitable computer testing
rolls comes to be.

14. Productivity and
Professional Practice
Reflection
The creation of the technology plan has made me
feel much more comfortable in creating a plan to
optimize the use of technology at my school.
It also forced me to consider all of the aspects of
technology in the schools.
